Choosing Your Cockatiel: Male vs. Female Behavior Insights

Thinking of getting a cockatiel but unsure whether a male or female is right for you? Here's a detailed comparison of male vs. female cockatiel behaviors to make an informed decision. When I was deciding on getting my cockatiels, I did extensive research to understand the differences between male and female behaviors. I've compiled all that valuable information for you in this video! Featuring my own two male cockatiels, get a first-hand look at these delightful birds.
Please note, individual birds have unique personalities, and not all may fit the general traits described.

My female is a yr old and she was hand raised and very loving and curious about everything and wants to be everyone's friend. My male is 22,was hand raised very friendly but in his old age he likes to sleep a lot. Enjoys flying over to me on the couch to be pet. I can't handle him anymore like I can with her.

Thanks for this short and informative video. I love the cute birdies in this footage too, I hope to get a Cockatiel soon.

[@TheChirpers]

Awesome! I hope it was helpful. Do you know if you are leaning toward male of female?

[@partiallyfrozen3425]

@@TheChirpers I'm leaning towards female, but honestly wouldn't mind either way. Birds are just the most incredible pets to have around.

[@TheChirpers]

@@partiallyfrozen3425 I agree, birds are awesome companions. Best of luck with your future feathery friend!

Male, the singing adds to the personality.

I want a male and female, like I had for 26 years. He was 46 years old at his death. 😢 ❤

[@deusvult1995]

46 is very old!

My cockatiel is all white, so I'm very unsure how to tell gender besides behavior

[@TheChirpers]

Yeah, sometimes it's impossible to tell, unless you start seeing eggs haha 🙂

[@TheChirpers]

Sounds like a great plan! I hope you enjoy your new birdies.

Then I have two genda missed cockateils 🤦 my hen, is so vocal, won't shut up unless there's food in her mouth 😅 and my "boy" is quite as heck

Good luck working it out before they grow older. Unless you want to do a DNA test.
